Iconic c1976 Halston Strapless Tie Front Sarong Red Jersey Dress designer-suzy-perette One of her gowns currently

One of her gowns currently resides as part of the permanent archives of the Royal Ontario Museum

It closes with a back painted metal zipper and hook & eye at the top back collar

I love how the stripes are all precisely matched along the front

The silk is strong and the cut will fit a variety of sizes - I have sized it as a Med large but will present just as well on a girl in the 6-8 range - it will just drape more

Iconic c1976 Halston Strapless Tie Front Sarong Red Jersey Dress designer-suzy-perette One of her gowns currentlyI am always on the look out for this style of dress by Halston. It is one of the most iconic of all of the Halston silhouettes. Countless women have been photoed in a version and I have included many of those reference photos here. Versions have been exhibited and there is always one included in every and any book on Halston and his work. This is a jersey version that is extremely easy to wear and travel with. These were issued in a variety of colors
